Hide Forgot
Description of problem: After last night's Rawhide compose, rpmlint is now completely broken. All invocations of it result in only this output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/rpmlint", line 381, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/rpmlint", line 169, in main runChecks(pkg) File "/usr/bin/rpmlint", line 226, in runChecks check.check(pkg) File "/usr/share/rpmlint/TagsCheck.py", line 695, in check self.check_summary(pkg, lang, ignored_words) File "/usr/share/rpmlint/TagsCheck.py", line 903, in check_summary if not Pkg.is_utf8_bytestr(summary): File "/usr/share/rpmlint/Pkg.py", line 168, in is_utf8_bytestr s.decode('UTF-8') AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpmlint-1.10-22.fc31.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run rpmlint on anything 2. 3. Actual results: An AttributeError is thrown. Expected results: Useful output. Additional info:
This is the definition of is_utf8_bytestr, at line 166 of /usr/share/rpmlint/Pkg.py: def is_utf8_bytestr(s): try: s.decode('UTF-8') except UnicodeError: return False return True This crude change to the function is probably not the right fix for the issue, but does allow me to do useful work with rpmlint again: def is_utf8_bytestr(s): try: s.decode('UTF-8') except AttributeError: pass except UnicodeError: return False return True
The fix is a bit more complicated than that, see the upstream bug I attached to this bz.

Try rpmlint-1.11-1.fc31. However note that we are figuring more and more problematic places in the codebase that fail. Trying to lint an RPM with non-UTF-8 data in headers will most likely crash it.
I confirm rpmlint-1.11-1.fc31.noarch works for me. How could a Fedora's RPM package contain non-UTF-8 data when guidelines state the UTF-8 is mandatory :)
(In reply to Petr Pisar from comment #6) > How could a Fedora's RPM package contain non-UTF-8 data when guidelines > state the UTF-8 is mandatory :) Exactly!
Ahhh, much better; rpmlint-1.11-2.fc31.noarch works for me. Thank you!
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle. Changing version to '31'.
This package has changed maintainer in the Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.
